- David Marusek Winner of the Theodore Sturgeon Award, NebulaAward nominee* Cory Doctorow is one of our best new writers:smart, daring, savvy, entertaining, ambitious, plugged-in, and as good aguide to the wired world of the twenty-first century that stretches out beforeus as you're going to find. - Gardner Dozois Editor, Asimov's SF* He sparkles! He fizzes! He does backflips andbreaks the furniture! Science fiction needs Cory Doctorow! - Bruce Sterling Author of The Hacker Crackdown and Distraction* Cory Doctorow strafes the senses with ageekspeedfreak explosion of gomi kings with heart, weirdass shapeshifters from PleasureIsland and jumping automotive jazz joints. If this is Canadian science fiction, giveme more. - Nalo Hopkinson Author of Midnight Robber and Brown Girl in theRing* Cory Doctorow is the future of science fiction. Annth-generation hybrid of the best of Greg Bear,Rudy Rucker, Bruce Sterling and Groucho Marx,Doctorow composes stories that are as BPM-stuffed as techno music, as idea-rich as the latest

issue of NEW SCIENTIST, and as funny ashumanity's efforts to improve itself. Utopian,insightful, somehow simultaneously ironic andheartfelt, these nine tales will upgrade your basalmetabolism, overwrite your cortex with new andefficient subroutines and generally improve your lifeto the point where you'll wonder how you ever gotalong with them. Really, you should need aprescription to ingest this book. Out of all theglittering crap life and our society hands us,craphound supreme Doctorow has managed tofashion some industrial-grade art." - Paul Di Filippo Author of The Steampunk Trilogy* As scary as the future, and twice as funny. In thiseclectic and electric collection Doctorow strikes sparks off today toilluminate tomorrow, which is what SF is supposed to do. And nobody does itbetter. - Terry Bisson Author of Bears Discover Fire—A note about this storyThis story is from my collection, "A Place SoForeign and Eight More," published by Four WallsEight Windows Press in September, 2003, ISBN1568582862. I've released this story, along withfive others, under the terms of a CreativeCommons license that gives you, the reader, abunch of rights that copyright normally reserves for

me, the creator.I recently did the same thing with the entire text ofmy novel, "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom"(http://craphound.com/down), and it was anunmitigated success. Hundreds of thousands ofpeople downloaded the book — good news — andthousands of people bought the book — also goodnews. It turns out that, as near as anyone can tell,distributing free electronic versions of books is agreat way to sell more of the paper editions, whilesimultaneously getting the book into the hands ofreaders who would otherwise not be exposed tomy work.I still don't know how it is artists will earn a living inthe age of the Internet, but I remain convinced thatthe way to find out is to do basic science: that is, todo stuff and observe the outcome. That's what I'mdoing here. The thing to remember is that the very*worst* thing you can do to me as an artist is to notread my work — to let it languish in obscurity anddisappear from posterity. Most of the fiction I grewup on is out-of-print, and this is doubly true for theshort stories. Losing a couple bucks to people whowould have bought the book save for theavailability of the free electronic text is no big deal,at least when compared to the horror that is beingirrelevant and unread. And luckily for me, itappears that giving away the text for free gets memore paying customers than it loses me.You can find the canonical version of this file athttp://craphound.com/place/download.phpIf you'd like to convert this file to some other
